Key information
Afterburner Studios announced that their upcoming action-platformer titled Elta: Defy All Gods is scheduled to launch on February 2nd, 2027. The title combines brawler combat, search-action exploration, and anime elements featuring a dragon companion who doubles as an ancient worshipped god.
The developers describe the game as a brawlervania, mixing martial arts and magic across three sci-fi worlds. Players control the warrior monk Victus, utilizing three martial art stances with individual skill trees alongside classic movement abilities like double jumps, dashes, wall runs, and grapples.
The small indie team at Afterburner Studios developed the title over five years, partnering with Focus Entertainment for design, production, and quality assurance support. The studio drew inspiration from classic titles like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and God of War, as well as shōnen anime and Hong Kong martial arts films.
A free demo for Elta: Defy All Gods is available today on PlayStation 5, letting players experience the beginning of the adventure in the glacial world of Lerna. Pre-orders for the full game include the Vanguard Armor cosmetic skin for Victus.
